I think Baoquan He's comment threw me off.

I worry about the use of `current' in mempolicy.h. It's the first time
this header has referenced current and the patch forgot to include
sched.h to get the definition. Presumably it works by accident. I
could toss in the #include but sometimes that blows up.

But it's unlikely that we'll be getting circular includes or other such
nastiness between those two header files, so fingers crossed...
